    2. (2)
      The District Council may grant extensions of the seven (7) year requirement for approval of a Detailed Site Plan upon application by the property owner or his designee filed and determined by the District Council prior to the expiration of the seven (7) year period. Prior to granting any such extension the District Council shall conduct an evidentiary hearing with notice of the public hearing to be:
      1. (A)
        Mailed to the owners of all land lying within one (1) mile of the boundaries of the subject C-R-C Zone as listed in the records of the Office of Assessments and Taxation;
      2. (B)
        Mailed to all municipalities and civic associations within a two (2) mile distance of all boundaries of the C-R-C Zone; and

    3. (3)
      Prior to granting an extension, the District Council shall find that:
      1. (A)
        Development of the property has been pursued with appropriate diligence;
      2. (B)
        Factors beyond the control of the property owner or the developer have precluded approval of a Detailed Site Plan with the seven (7) year period; and
      3. (C)
        The length of extension requested is reasonably necessary to complete the Detailed Site Plan process. The length of any extension shall be limited to the period of time the District Council determines is reasonably necessary for completion of the process leading to approval of a Detailed Site Plan, based on the record evidence presented.
    4. (4)
      Vested rights to the continuation of any C-R-C Zone shall not arise by virtue of the mere approval of a Detailed Site Plan. Development rights shall be vested only after issuance of a building permit for the main shopping center building and the completion of substantial work thereunder.
